Wagyu Hotpot FOODLAB Tsukiji — Restaurant in Tokyo

Came here with my husband and absolutely loved everything about this place. Our dinner here was definitely one of the highlights of our Japan trip! You pay prices for food taste, quality, service, presentation, and atmosphere that would cost you double if not triple for the same anywhere in the West.
